Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Measuring just under an inch thick and weighing a mere 6.1 ounces, this Panasonic personal CD player is a great fit whether you're working out at the gym, commuting on the train, or listening at home in the bedroom. The cover boasts a sleek, high-tech appearance that's complemented by a pair of high-end stereo headphones with padded ear cups. More significantly, the CD player plays more than just audio CDs, with compatibility for both CD-R/RW discs and compressed MP3 files burned onto a CD-R/RW. The expanded playback options give users access to far more of their digital music library each time they leave the house. Should listeners tire of prerecorded music, they can turn to the digital AM/FM tuner and its 30 station presets--a nice feature for anyone who wants to catch the ballgame or their favorite talk program. Active users will also appreciate the anti-skip protection and its related backup memory function, which combine to ensure a disruption-free listening experience even while jogging or driving.

At the core of the SL-CT680V's audio performance is Panasonic's advanced D.sound technology, which comprises four main components: a digital amplifier that reduces distortion for a clearer overall sound; the bass-enhancing capacity of S-XBS super bass boost and the digital audio gain control; and an MP3 remastering function that restores much of the lost fidelity of compressed MP3 audio files. The system also includes five equalizer presets to further enhance the audio experience, and features such playback options as 20-track programming (track or disc), repeat play, and random play.

Also impressive is the CD player's extra-long playback times, which extend up to 141 hours for MP3s and 75 hours for CDs. To enjoy the full times, merely pop a pair of AAA alkaline batteries in the main compartment and a pair of AA alkalines in the included external battery case.

This review is from: Panasonic SL-CT680V Portable CD/MP3 Player with Digital AM/FM Tuner (Electronics)

I bought this cd player for my son as a replacement. His other one was broken by another scout on a boy scout camping trip. His last one was a panasonic , so I decided to replace it with a panasonic. He is now using an mp3 player but every now and then he still listens to his cd player.Its a good player, but now I think its on to something newer like mp3 players.
